On a running system use "kldunload <modulename>".

See our own tutorial on loading and unloading driver:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/nixcraft/vi...ve-device.html

To remove at boot time, press space bar at FreeBSD boot menu, press 6 to goto boot OK prompt here you can load or unload module

To load module:
Code:
OK load filename
Type unload to remove any module from kernel and memory
Code:
OK unload
